The Scottish Premiership returns in just one week and Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Hibs are all still hoping to strengthen their squads with the season opener firmly on the horizon.
There are still approximately five weeks left in the summer transfer window; however, the clock is ticking as managers look to add those finishing touches to their squads for the 2026/27 campaign.
While every fan loves to see their club splash the cash on the next potential superstar, there are often lots of bargains to be found in the free agent market, with several players coming to the end of their contract in the summer and looking for their next challenge.
Here, The Scotsman looks at 13 of the best free agents still able to sign for clubs, including a five-time English Premier League title winner, a former £50million Manchester United favourite and a double promotion-winning left-back.
